Вы просто не можете нормально играть, потому что игра не отзывается на управление так, как нужно, инпут лаг доходит до половины секунды, не смотря на то, что вы видите атаку противника, вы знаете что с ней делать, но вы просто ничего не можете предпринять, потому что игра лагает. Если вы раздумываете брать игру или нет, и у вас есть выбор пс4 или ПК, то не задумывайтесь, берите на ПК, ведь требования для нее очень низкие.
    Очень жаль, не так часто выходит игра, которая так затягивает, надеюсь в будущем хоть как то починят патчами, а пока что только 4/10, только за ужасную оптимизацию под пс4.

    UPD: Прошла неделя, и в игре где довольно много багов и ужасная оптимизация ноль патчей, НОЛЬ, я повторю, ноль. По этому меняю оценку на 1/10. Я разочаровался в from software. Не думаю, что буду покупать их продукты в будущем.    … Expand

    This game is not friendly towards players new to the genre. There will be a lot of dying before you realize that the game is all about dying and memorizing different moves, you really have to play exactly the way developers want you to in order to progress.

    Clunky controls, odd hit box and a repetitive mechanic.

    Those who praise this, its my thinking, feel like they are cool, because its tough, but integral calculus its tougher and that don't make it cool.

    The fun part its that From Software has left his best work in the past, from here, its like the Tony Hawk series, just going down.

    If your curious about the product, buy it used and on physical to re-sell it.

    Another interest thing its that in the case of PS4, the percentage of trophies obtained its really low, 30% its the average of obtantion of many of the trophies, my reasoning its that its not the difficulty, its more that people get bored and prefer to use his time on something else.

    Considerer that at the end of the day, a game, besides fun, don't give you more than fun for you time invested on it, and this game cant comply with this task    … Expand

    I love the Ninja Gaiden series. I also love all hack and slash games, and games with a Japanese flavor. It would seem that I should have liked this game, but this is a terrible shame and a slap in the face for all slasher players.
    The only thing that should be noted in the game is good graphics and design.
    Otherwise, this is one of the main disgraces of 2019. In the game, we have only one attack, the same type of katana strike. After hitting the enemy several times, you can finish it off with the same button. AI of enemies is just as bad. If they spot you, they won't leave again until they finish you off. The game is supposedly a stealth action game, but this is unacceptable for this genre. The location design is not intuitive and there are no clues about where to go. There is no location map or visual directions in the game itself.
    If you want to see some really cool Japanese action game, play Ninja Gaiden, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, or Killer Is Dead. These games are many times better than the unfairly hyped Sekiro.    … Expand

I may return and play the game unpatched, but right now there are other games to move onto. Dissapointing as I was enjoying it and had been killed 20-30 times on some of the earlier bosses, but there is a limit when the game stops being fun, and is not about gitting gud.    … Expand

Theres a specific move you can get for "crowds", I have yet to use it without an enemy interrupting it (and ignoring the move itself).

    Old, broken and poorly designed combat system lends to the games "difficulty" as you can really only engage in one on one scenarios. Camera system is horrendous is tight areas. Stealth isn't stealthy as enemies are always alerted when you perform a "stealth" attack.

    Its an old, outdated, broken design that is inexplicably escused away as "challenging", in almost all From games. More modern, polished games like Ghost of Tsushima allow the player to take on upwards of 20 enemies at once with combat systems that function properly.

Stingy much? I can't talk to a merchant or npc because I get killed. Sometimes when I used the death blow, I get attacked by another enemy. The mini bosses are boring, and a repeat of the mini boss that came before it. I have to die 100 times to learn a cheese, or master AI. I have to go on the internet, which never happened in the souls or Bloodbourne series. My husband has to kill all my bosses. This game is sexist, and not meant for women or people with physical disabilities to play. I am not an 18 year old boy with incredible reflexes. The Owl boss is way to long. In other words this game is NOT fun. Too many overpowered bosses, to little healing wares. The world is fun to explore, but I dread the boss fights. I don't feel confident going in to them. I always enjoyed the bosses in the souls game. They were at least fair. This game is a step backwards for From and I am totally disappointed. From needs to rethink this game and its difficulty. They are going to lose their loyal fan base. I am really upset because I was looking forward to another From game. I am telling all my friends to stay away from this one.

    Sekiro was very much the game I looked forward most to in 2019 but also my greatest disappointment so far. I'm almost 40 hours in and at the end stretch of the game. Every time I played, I hoped for it to click, thinking that it may be something wrong with me. The glowing critic reviews left and right didn't help either. To summarize what I think is wrong with the game, it's the overallSekiro was very much the game I looked forward most to in 2019 but also my greatest disappointment so far. I'm almost 40 hours in and at the end stretch of the game. Every time I played, I hoped for it to click, thinking that it may be something wrong with me. The glowing critic reviews left and right didn't help either. To summarize what I think is wrong with the game, it's the overall interaction of it's (stealth / combat) mechanics that encourages you to play in a very specific way.

    For example, a large percentage of the minibosses have entourages that are designed such that the safest / most rewarding way to go about those engagements is to:

    1) Stealth kill a minion
    2) Run out of aggro range
    3) Wait a minute for remaining enemies to disengage
    4) Repeat 1 to 3 until you can fight the miniboss individually

    immersion issues aside, doing the above can take up to 15 minutes per "run"
    and if you die - which always will happen because you have no idea what the new boss' moveset is, you have to repeat the process all over again. The major bosses are also designed to be impossible to defeat the first time through because you have no idea what the exact timing is for all their strikes and combos and this meant you can never reliably parry their attacks which is also the singular way to win.

    The whole game is akin to doing tiresome dance rehearsals repeatedly until you get a waltz down the way your instructor wants it to be, except he doesn't tell you what he wants in the first place and you have to be beaten into knowing. This wasn't a problem with Dark Souls because caution could always bring you far and there were plenty of alternative solutions to the same puzzle.

    By the end, Sekiro felt easier and more manageable when I could play by it's set of rules but that's because it forced me to play the only way it wanted to be played and the lack of player agency left a bad taste in my mouth.

    My conclusion at the end is this - Sekiro was overdesigned and has an identity issue. It wants to be a little bit of Tenchu, but doesn't do it well. It also wants to somewhat be Dark Souls, but doesn't do that well either. It definitely wants to be Onimusha / Bushido Blade but is also halfhearted about that. I have little doubt that Sekiro will not be looked upon favorably years after the hype has gone. But still, plenty of love to players who had a good time with it.    … Expand

    No tiene PVP, cero contenido online, no hay motivacion para rejugarlo despues de terminarte su hitoria la cual dura poco, por el mismo hecho de que no tiene sistema de niveles, nada de personalizacion, le puedes hacer instakills a los enemigos mas fuertes, basicamente el juego se basa en hacer parries

    Mal juego, muy sobrevalorado y nada dificil, debieron dedicarse a bloodborne 2

    I wish I never played this game. I have over 1000 hours in From Soft Games, and this game crushed me, and I am currently recovering from the experience that was this game.

    The gameplay and action were great, the story was good. All very true to the spirit of their games. I struggled my way through this game, hoping I would feel great when I beat a boss, or farming for more strength.    I wish I never played this game. I have over 1000 hours in From Soft Games, and this game crushed me, and I am currently recovering from the experience that was this game.

    The gameplay and action were great, the story was good. All very true to the spirit of their games. I struggled my way through this game, hoping I would feel great when I beat a boss, or farming for more strength. Instead, I struggled through every boss and area, and felt more and more defeated as I barely beat each boss or challenge.

    I had no way to share my struggles with friends, no way to ask for help from others. This game made me feel more lonely than I have in my life. I couldn't chat with friends while I played, or I would die. I couldn't help other friends with their game, because there is no multiplayer. Everything that made all the other From Soft games a great experience, was tossed out the window for this game. You don't feel like you are growing as a skilled gamer, because each new boss is just different mechanic you have to find out how to beat. You spend hours and hours watching what others did to beat a boss, or hours and hours reading how to get every secret in the game. At the end, what are you left with? You don't get to play around with friends, invade other worlds, help other people overcome their current struggle.. All you did was beat a game... In that time, you could have been interacting with family, making yourself better or smarter. Instead, I spent 100 hours figuring out how to click which button at the right time, based on which boss I was having to spend 10 hours learning. I gained no "life meaning" from this game, except that life is a struggle, and when you feel good about beating one part, get ready to feel bad for 10 times longer while you figure out the next part.

    From Software is free to do what they want with their creative vision, and I respect that. But this game was 10 parts struggle for every 1 part feeling of success... and at the end of it all, I just realized I could have been doing something so much greater than putting myself through that pain. I will never make the mistake of playing a game in the hopes that I will feel very accomplished after beating it. This is a fool's hope, and I really wish I had my 100 hours back, not to mention I had to pay for the honor of torturing myself.

    I love you, FromSoft, but I wish I never played this game. Hopefully one day I will look back and see that this was a growing experience for me. I stopped talking to a lot of friends, put aside other probably important responsibilities, all because I did not want to back down from the challenge that was set before me.    … Expand

    Step back of souls-like genre. There are no epic and beautiful bosses, you can't change weapon and choose your characteristics, you can't avoid attacks as in DS. That is not fun game. It's boring and tiring. Worst game of From Software.

    This game is **** I was a FromSoft fan since before they became mainstream. I've played King's Field IV, Ninja Blade, the 4 Souls + Bloodborne and loved them all except for DS3 which was just decent. I preordered DS3 and it disappointed me, but nothing is comparable to this game.

I preordered DS3 and it disappointed me, but nothing is comparable to this game.
    All this game can give is a limited use of the grapple hook (who could have been used much more and better in combat). On every other account is just a much much worse version of Nioh/Bloodborne. And please don't embarrass yourself with "it's not a soulslike, it's an action game!". This game has nothing to do with, let's say, Ninja Gaiden (which i love) or Devil May Cry or whatever. This is just the worst soulslike the world has ever seen.

    This game sums up everything terrible videogames can give like:
    - Bossfights including annoying minions
    - Fake difficulty (most minibosses deal you more damage with a blow than what a sip of flask can cure)
    - Classic terrible camera by FromSoft, now up to eleven
    - Stealth is mediocre. Sometimes decent, sometimes terrible
    - You can run out of "ammo" for the prosthetic. They could have used a replenishing system like the one for spells in the souls games, instead they decide to go for "the buy/farm it" way like for vials in bloodborne.
    - In a fast paced game like this, healing is not rapid like in Bloodborne or Nioh, but a slow animation like dark souls
    - Speaking of animations, your attacks have considerable slower animations than the mob attacks. Also, most enemies have a much longer rage than you have.
    - The tracking is obnoxious. People who complained about dark souls 2 and not for this are full of ****.
    - Hitboxes are broken like few things i've ever seen.
    - Despite taking out every appreciable rpg element, they some annoying out-of-place ones like farming for leveling up to unlock moves, and to buy stuff from merchants
    - Mediocre plot and mediocre setting
    - Absolutely horrible and annoying music. I swear to god i started turn it off because it bothered me. I tried again with music reaching the various boss fights, and even giving the music second chances i still loathe it.

    If this is the future of From Software, i hope from software has no future.    … Expand

It has stealth kills like Tenchu, but you don't need them, so you may as well be playing Metal Gear Rising. The game just outright does not deliver on any front. The main character is about as much of a ninja as Raiden or Yaiba Kamikaze... I'm glad this was a free rental and not a purchase, or I would have died inside twice.

    Also, if you understand defensive options you have in video games, this game is not hard at all. Oh, and one button combat, lmfao.    … Expand

    This is the worst ninja/samurai game I've ever played, and yes, I know Sekiro is a shinobi but I put it on that more general genre so I can compare to a wider range of games that have similar settings and contents as this.

    Sekiro is a game that many people seem to think is hard and many players are proud to beat and speak about it with a big mouth, if there is a term likes souls veteran it's exactly because of that, they think souls games are hard and if they come back alive from that experience it's comparable to a war veteran or something. Well, let me tell you something, these games are not hard at all, their difficulty is mostly faked and the way to beat them often very very simplistic, which is why the games get so popular at the end, because there isn't really much to them, it doesn't really need skills or intelligence to beat any FromSoftware game, it only needs a little bit of patience to find out how they work and when you find out they're a piece of cake.

    With Sekiro this formula has been taken to the max, the game is not hard at all, it's only inflexible, it only lets you beat it by using a very limited range of moves, but if you have a little patience and learn those (I'm talking about basically four moves, it isn't that much) you can beat the game easily and you can see what a piece of crap and lazy work this game actually is.

    The game lives from a couple of ohs and ahs moments like some big snake boss or a moneky that keeps fighting after being beheaded and of course also of horde of vehement fans of this company who would buy anything as long as they see the FromSoftware logo on it, if you don't believe go see what they are doing with upcoming Elden Ring, all of them wetting their pants everytime someone sneezes and it sounds similar to the words elden ring, it's just like Justin Bieber hysterical fans at this point.

    The thing is that this game is so simple that it becomes boring after a couple of boss fights because anyone with a brain can see that no matter the boss design, if it's a samurai on a horse or an old lady or big snake... at the end you always do the same three moves and every fight feels the same. The story is crap, I've seen a lot of FS fans criticizing the story of other games when they're no different from Sekiro's then they don't do the same with this one or even say Sekiro's story is good. Also the NPC's AI is one of the dumbest I've seen since the 90s, just try throwing a shuriken to some enemy who's aware of you, you will see one single animation that you could looping forever if you had endless shuriken - lazy work, as I said.

    The difficulty is completely faked, most of it is hidden behind a terible input lag (if you compare this game's speed and responsiveness to most japanese games it feels like a bad joke, like someone telling you you have to run very fast and at the same time puts heavy weights on your shoes) and also the long animations. From the moment you push the button to hit with your sword to the moment your sword actually hits there is often a long animation that gives the NPC enough time for an input read and react to what you have pushed without being noticed, unless you have a brain of course, then you only need to use your logic to find out this game is no hard, it's only cheating you in a very cheap way. And the proof of it is the existence of an "invisible help" in the game, which as the name says it's not visible, there is nothing like a ghost helping you in battle, it is only that they give you a little bit more of random values in your favor when tricking you in such a blatant way.

    This game is pure crap and many people might say then why was it game oif the year 2019? Well, did you remember Activision put some money on it? Again, use your logic and don't be fooled by gaming companies like these.

    Sekiro is the worst game in this genre and anyone with a little bit of intelligence and analytical thinking can see it, don't let vehement fanboys tell you what you have to like or dislike, even when that seems to be the trend in the internet era. Don't even listen at me with this critic play the game but be critical to what you see and be honest to yourself when talking about it, that's what I'm doing here if you like what you hear or not.

There are numerous problems with the AI such as: inconsistent fields of vision, enemies detecting you through walls while crouched and still/silent, bosses that detect you while concealed and have infinite tethers, etc. This is the **** you end up with when people derive too much status from a video game.

    And I would complete it to the end. I've bought Sekiro second time. Played measuredly, slowly, enjoying each part of gameplay. But at the end it was dropped to the bottom as much as it possible in my eyes... I play with Isshin Ashina in the end and I really really wanna the hell out of those developers and creators. It's insane to play that battle with incorrect hit-boxes, 4 (!!!) phases of boss fight (including Genetiro Ashina, because he's fighting in one of phases that also have incorrect hitboxes when lower attack is going and double jump probably shall not work), 3 phases with the final boss and he's fighting with 3 (!!!) different weapons. Ask to the developers. HOW YOU IMAGINE THAT WHEN BOSS INSTANTLY SWITCHING THREE TYPE OF WEPONS WHEN HE'S JUST SWORD MASTER??? It's ridiculous. But it's not the main problem. With incorrect hit-boxes and at least a couple of missed attacks he's just killing you :). When you passed 2 phases well it goes to the hell. I'VE LEARNED HOW TO PLAY WELL BECAUSE I'VE NOT MISSED ALL THE DEATH ATTACKS. But when he don't stop to pushing you it looks really insane consider there is GREAT difference between first two phases. And he attacks with three types of weapons. And in the last phase there are four types of weapons (including lightning strike) + and many of melee attacks combining guns. Hell out that game. Repair god damn incorrect hitboxes!!! Don't you really see that's broken? In confirmation of my words just google that 'YouTube 8t4Qw9R1DnM'. It's my own video that demonstrates how bad hit-boxes works.

    And you have prosthesis. The most useless thing except of shuriken and petards when you play vs all bosses. But what a problem. When you've spend all spirit emblems LET'S GO AND GRID THAT. :) or just buy (if you have money ofc).

    And you can boost your hp and increase heal potions count. BUT WHAT A PROBLEM? Damage to you is a percentage. So strange solution. Only potions helps but not all the time.

    The last water drop I've got. You can ask 'But why that game has many of positive reviews with 10/10'. At the end I've got an achievement with this description 'Research all locations in the game'. And only 35% (nearly I think, maybe it's about 25%) of players reached that achievement. You can't go the end if you've not researched all locations. A curtain.

The story was trash, gameplay was trash, character was a complete joke!
    Looks like it was thrown together in a college dorm room or something. Then I played Ghost Of Tsushima, now THAT game absolutely destroys this crappy game by a million miles. I hated The Last of Us 2’s story and repetitive gameplay but I would rather play that than this 90’s looking BS. HOW THIS GAME WON ANY AWARD OTHER THAN WORSE GAME OF ALL TIME!!!    … Expand

    I am just dissappointed by the game FromSoft delivered here.

    The voiceacting and graphics are good. But thats really it. The game is full of severe (!) bugs, the movement is very inprecise, buggy and laggy - you can clearly note, that FromSoft used the same engine Ds3 ran on and this engine isn't really suited for Sekiro. I would go that far to state: The movement is in points of bugs,    I am just dissappointed by the game FromSoft delivered here.

I would go that far to state: The movement is in points of bugs, missing physics and in general its "wonkyness" the worst I have seen in any game up to this date (and this includes Skyrim!). The balancing is ok (you expect hard enemies from a soulslike game).

    Most of the enemies are repeats along the way. Enemy-design does not get interesting in the slightest. The bosses are bland as well and not challenging at all. "Challenge" only comes from the quantity of enemies, never from quality. Putting enemies right next to savepoints is just a bad decision design-wise; developers should know better and not make this mistake.

    I pushed myself to do the platinum, hoping the game would get fun at some point. In the end this time was wasted. Sekiro wasnt fun in the beginning and it still wasnt when I was done with the platinum trophy.

    2 points for voiceacting and graphics, 1 for new ideas (the arm with integrated hook, ...). But sadly 0 points for controlls, enemy-design and gameplay in general.

    Edit: I've given the game another shot once again and need to revise my scoring. If the only challenge within a game comes from its badly made controls, I cant give any points for ideas and graphics. Challenge compared to other souls-likes 1/10, execution of controlls 0/10. Overall funfactor of the game 0/10 as well.    … Expand

    Best Fromsoft combat system ever.
    the boss fights are awesome and once you master them, this becomes the most enjoyable game.

The bosses can make you cry of sadness and shout with fury, when I reached in the final boss final phase, I almost killed him after 15 hours triyng, but I falled on a cliff, the fault wasn't of the game, but my, because I don't payed attention in the fight, the game never has the fault, you just need to try until you defeat them. Sekiro is one of the best games I ever played, isn't the best only cause the souls series exist. Recommended… Expand

    This is the type of game released to be difficult with bad combat mechanics. A complete waste of money. Not a dark souls level of challenge. Just random hard garbage.

    We don’t like the save system and difficulty of these games Why u don’t make an option for us too !

    Players should have the right of choosing between different difficulty and different save method

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Son of a **** do I hate Sekiro. I know most everyone does but for me it goes much deeper than that. I am beyond hate. 40 hours. 40 hours have I put up with Sekiro and its nonstop winning. I have had to watch the corrupted monk eat his **** W's since 2001. My friend is a souls fan, he says "Oh yEaH I HatE sEkIrO tOo BrO" and I say You dumb **** Shut the **** up with your dumb **** I have to play Sekiro RIGHT **** NOW. and he says "yeah but" and I can't even hear him because at this point I'm thinking about that youtube thumbnail of a fat shirtless headless at his cave and there is blood in my ears and hate in my heart. I can just imagine Geneshiro watching him waddle is way through the 40 and licking his lips. **** And don't even get me started on Sekiro fans. One of my "friends" is a Sekiro and Persona fan. THEY'RE ON OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE GAMING SPECTRUM YOU **** And he has the nerve to call me out for being a Zelda and a Skyrim fan.I DIDN'T HAVE A GENRE WHEN I STARTED PLAYING, YOU STUPID **** I CHOSE THE GAME WITH THE PRETTY COLORS CAUSE I DIDNT REALIZE THEY WOULD HAVE SATAN HIMSELF ON THE SAME CONSOLE. AND THE ZELDA AND SKYRIM ARENT HARD. I love how on this subreddit you can go to any given comment thread and find some idiot with a Sekiro flair talking about Wolf. Every Sekiro fan would let Wolf **** in their cereal every morning for a FORTNIGHT just to suckle one of his prosthetic fingers. and I just KNOW that they're reading this right now, because they infest game threads like a ganon of leeches, and halfway through skimming it with their limited reading skills they realize they have an erection, so they ctrl+shift+n and search Sekiro long hair until they bust a nut onto the keyboard, posting comments like "if this wasnt Wolf people would think this was cool" and "Le Geneshiro is da dark lord XD XD" or just "mmmphmmgofgpsngfjg" because they still have Wolf’s DICK in their mouth. They say don't cheer for injuries. **** that. I hope Sekiro gets hit by an airplane. He'll be screaming at one of his coaches who works day in and day out for him, because the ethereal Monk is up 49-0 and some insane fan will just lose it and prison shank him 18 times, and then once more for good measure. And I'll watch that **** on youtube for the rest of my life. I'll be there at his funeral to comfort Emma with hors d'oeuvres but when it's my turn to sprinkle dirt on his coffin I'll drop a picture of Elden Ring instead. And when security drags me out for causing a rumpus I'll just laugh and laugh, because I know that I hired the insane fan to do it. It was my plan all along. All I had to do was promise him the chance to wear Wolf’s skin. Oh, you thought the funeral was closed casket out of respect? No, no my friend. His SKIN is gone. Where is it now, you ask? It's been... distributed. A small bribe to the chef was all it took. And now Emma is wondering why her pig in a blanket has the faint taste of avocado ice cream, and the tears begin again as my laughter drowns out the wind and the rain. And the world keeps spinning. I am home now. Some days are good. Some days aren't. All I can do is live what life Sekiro has left me.… Expand

    Overall, Sekiro is defined by its riveting, challenging, and ultimately highly rewarding gameplay. Stemming from simplicity but giving a wide variety of different combat options, few games come close to matching the exhilarating rush that Sekiro’s best moments provide. Exploring its atmospherically engrossing levels is a treat, from a visual, musical, and atmospheric standpoint. Even if exploration and character storylines are sometimes hampered by Dragonrot, repeatedly severing the immortality of bosses with brutal “Shinobi Executions” and discovering the ritual secrets of eternal life offers a captivating experience that stands out as one of FromSoftware’s best and most distinctive titles.

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an enjoyable, yet deeply challenging game. It's not really a Dark Souls with samurais game, but whether or not you enjoyed the difficulty level of the battles in Dark Souls will be a good benchmark in gauging how much you'll like Sekiro. If you're persistent, up for a challenge, and don't become frustrated easily, then Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an easy game to recommend.

    Though Sekiro feels impossibly hard at times, the level of euphoria you experience when delivering a death blow to a tricky boss or when you finally clear a castle grounds of all enemies is almost unparalleled.
